> How does this compare with the experience of others? Hmmm. A quick calculation shows: My biggest database is 1/74 of the size of yours. I need ~5 Minutes to backup a freshly restored database, backup takes longer if the restore is longer ago (up to 6.5 minutes).
5 * 74 = 370 minutes == 6 hours and 10 minutes. certainly not any academical method to do a comparison, but surprisingly close to your result :-) Mine is on hardware of 2005, RAID, Dual Xeon 1GHz, Server2003 R2 ------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Resources item on the main (top) menu.
